Match of tournament was easily LDRS Of The New School vs Adam Cole & Kyle O'Reilly .My match of the year now and i'd say Seabs would agree.I gave it ****1/2 if not more, better than Wolves/WGTT.Adam Cole could be massive as a heel too.

Davey Richards vs Zack Sabre Jr was awesome too.It was sorta like his match with TJP but only better ,with stiffer strikes and smoother transitions.Awesome match ,probably Davey's best this year.**** 1/2 snowflakes.

Watch Colt Cabana vs Marty Scurll too.As a comedy match this is ***** stars.I have had as much fun watching a match since Claudio/Ricochet at the BOLA .Comedic genius ,the German commentary is pure gold too.

Davey Richards vs Zack Sabre Jr ****1/4 - ****1/2
This was all kinds of awesome! It was definately similar to Davey vs TJP. It was full of awesome strikes and submission work and great selling on both guys parts. First time seeing Sabre jr and he is indeed awesome once you get past the fact he is very small. Looking forward to seeing more of him. Davey was brilliant in this and topped his performance against TJP.

Oh, and The German commentary was actualy hilarious with the random outbursts of "Whaaaaaat?" and "Whaaat Thhhe Fuuccckkk?". It needs a re-watch to decide on the final rating as i admit i did get slightly distracted by the commentary lol.

Pro Wrestling NOAH 1/29
GHC Jr. Heavyweight Title Match
Kotaro Suzuki vs. Eddie Edwards ****-****¼

Up there with this year's iPPV matches with Daniels as Eddie's best singles matches so far (from what I've seen). When the hell did he become so vicious with his chops?

Of the whole weekend? The LDRS tag closely followed by Davey/Zack.

Kaz Hayashi (c) vs Minoru - (AJPW 01/02/11)- *** 3/4

DGUSA Mercury Rising

PAC vs Akira Tozawa: **** - ****1/4 just an awesome match to watch, so fast and so much fun. Great indy style match.

Austin Aries vs YAMATO: **** just a notch below the previous match, but a very similar and also very enjoyable match featuring a great nearfall from the Galleria, which I completely bought.

6 man tag: ***3/4 a really fun DG special to finish. Chucky T impressed yet again.

Was a really fun show overall, found a VOD of it without knowing the card or even much of what was going on in DGUSA (I don't really follow it but I know all the wrestlers), but I enjoyed it very much and will go looking for the next iPPV.

ROH Takes Center Stage Night 1

Davey Richards vs Chris Hero: **** same rating as I gave their Final Battle match. 27 minutes was probably 5 minutes too long considering the length of the main event, and I assume the predictable winner was the reason for the crowd being a little quiet, but still a very good match from these two, who I don't think could have a bad match with eachother.

WGTT vs KOW: **** I probably enjoyed this a little more than the Richards/Strong match, if only for the fantastic finishing sequence and crowd heat near the end. This had some awesome nods to their GBH match, especially in the finish, which was a great way for WGTT to win the belts, and got a huge reaction. Keen to see where both teams go from here.

Eddie Edwards vs Christopher Daniels: **** not as good as their 9YA match, but better than their HDNet match. Nice work on the back by Daniels after the two sick spots on the outside with a table and chairs, would have liked to see him bring out the blue thunder bomb to damage it even more like he did at 9YA. Some good nearfalls and a smart finish (Daniels was pinned after a couple of big moves, rather than him tapping out again to Edwards, which might have made him look a little weak). A potential rematch with Daniels as the heel and/or Strong and Daniels vs American Wolves would both appeal to me.

A really great show by ROH, the Briscoes/Cole and O'Reilly match was also a good one. Looking forward to night 2.

Oberhausen Terror Corps vs Munenori Sawa & Hikaru Sato - wXw Back 2 The Roots X
Loved this. Carnage looked better in this than he I've seen him before by a long shot. His selling at the start was great and really made Sawa & Sato look like deadly motherfuckers. Shame he forgot about it after though. Sawa was super over with the crowd and Sato continued his awesome run as of late. Bad Bones coming into the match as a super pissed off muscle freak was awesome and him and Sawa really brought the hate to each other. Sato sold the leg superbly too and it paid off nicely for the finish. Shame that they had Sawa and Bad Bones brawling in the crowd during the finish and went to split screen but other than that I dont have an real complaints about this

****1/4

Daisuke Sekimoto vs Big Van Walter - wXw Back 2 The Roots X
This was one hell of a heavyweight battle and when these type of matches work, they're brilliant. Loads of sick chops and the lariat battle was awesome. Walter really stepped his game up for this one and looked brilliant in his own right, not just being helped by a better worker as his opponent as is sometimes the case. Bit heavy at the end with Walter hitting so many big moves, especially powerbombs. Sekimoto's dead lift suplex was insane. You know it's coming but it doesn't fail to amaze when he does it to someone the size of Walter.

****1/4

Masato Tanaka vs Yuji Nagata (ZERO-1 03/06/11)- ****
